Description

Novatek is a market leader in the supply of Radiation Shielding Glass and we have the exclusive Distribution Rights for Corning’s Med-X Lead glass in Australasia.

Corning’s Med-X Lead Glass provides high-quality, transparent, protective shielding against X-ray radiation for medical, technical, and research applications. Its high barium and lead content gives optimum shielding against radiation from equipment operating in the 80 to 300 kV range.
Med-X is supplied as polished plates with dimensions up to 2800 x 1400 mm. Smaller sizes can be cut to meet customer requirements.
